Cheers,

Thanks guys - good to meet all of you !

I agree with Merli - BOOSTD - nice car mate ! Cheers for the turbo tips too.

What happened to Mark & Ken - it got a bit hectic there when we were leaving the car park - I hope everyone wasn't too rushed .......

Thanks for the tyres Andrew :) - did you check the funds ? I'm pretty sure it was right ;)

Thanks B-man, Merli: Had a great night- will have to check out Palm Beach during the day next time. I didn't realise we were driving along the water front until we arrived at the "Summer Bay Car park" I'll be up for the show and shine.......have to get some elbow grease into the black paint. =)

Yeah man very nice, sounded awesome when you went screaming past me on the way back. How was that dodgy overtaking manouver of mine just after that? I had to cane it to get to the gap but when i gave it too much the wheels kept spinning. One time when 4wd would have been lovely to have!

That over taking manouver was pretty crazy! Geoff and I just went....holy Crap. Looked pretty close from our perspective. We kept getting wheel spin in 4th if I kept my foot into it after 5500rpm....so I short shifted to avoid any side window driving...hehe

Yeah it wouldn't have been a problem if the road was dry but when I saw some light coming over the top of the hill I put a bit more into it and the wheels started to spin. You pull out knowing you've got the power but getting it to the road is another story.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
